Help Text Messaging App suggestions

I was a big fan of Handcent until it didnt work well with my new phone which led to me finding Textra. Im an even bigger fan of Textra but after periods of satisfactory service I run into a little hiccup with the "APN settings" (whatever that is). Naturally I fiddled with the options available in the settings tab that are usually the subject to the solution, or the cause of my frustration because more times than not the result is me deleting and/or replacing the texting app. Ive gone back to Handcent (sometimes the same problem) and Ive also dabbled with the stock app because some people online have suggested ..... but it just doesnt have the feel I like


So I dunno whats an alternative to Textra, or at least the proper way to solve the issue so that I can just go back to loving the application I found to be the best match for me.
 
The APN jazz seemed to hit us on a combination of a recent Textra update and roaming.

If its fine at the moment, go to Textra settings, MMS settings, and check manually configure APN. If you have the 3 fields filled in, leave them be, leave manually configure APN checked, and back out to save your settings
